I'm searching for a really good coffee flavor, and I've found only one so far that's worth buying. I read the really long coffee flavor thread, and I want to try it. Trouble is, I don't have any DIY supplies here. I know me and my obsessions, I would certainly buy too much stuff and get in over my head and confuse myself. Does anyone else only make ONE flavor, or start off that way, then branch out later?

You can buy unflavored juice. A few vendors sell it in varying nicotine strengths up to 36 so that might be the way to go for you, at least to start. Then all you'd need is a small bottle of pg for your extraction and you'd be ready to go!

My guess is after trying it you'd be hooked and want to try MORE, but at least you'd have your feet wet and it's an easy way to get started ;)

Edit: Coffee extraction was the only thing I vaped for a long time....it's still my go to fav. As a coffee FIEND I found all coffee juices/flavs simply unacceptable. IMO, extraction is the only way to go if you're a diehard coffee lover like me.

You may want to think about buying one or two flavorings that you think you would like mixed with the coffee. Extracted coffee by itself may not be a satisfying vape. I think most prefer adding something to it, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm a coffee purist for the most part (black, no cream or sugar please) so PURE coffee extract is great for me...if anything, it can be a tad too sweet because of the sweetness of the pg/vg, however...mixing in a bit of a good chocolate can sometimes bring great waves of vaping ecstasy ;)

A bit of caramel can be good as well.

DIY is the way to go, but I didn't get into it for one flavor only. Good coffee flavors are hard to come by imo... you may have to do quite a bit of trial and error before you find a mixture that you like. I mix a cream and vanilla flavoring with my coffee and it comes out pretty good. Taste is highly subjective, so you'll have to experiment a bit to find out what concoction you like. Good luck!

I started out with one or two flavorings together. Simple ones. Now up to 4. I recommed Highdesertecigs.com for the RTS vapes affordably priced nic liquid and affordable flavorings. He also has a 5 percent off code on his thread. Capella's comes highly recommended. Ecigexpress carries the most brands of flavorings and will have Capella's in a week. You will get tired of one flavor and need lots in your arsenal to get a really good juice.

What cream do you use?

Home extracted coffee with TPA sweet cream or DIYFS sugar cream is incredibly delicious . Like im drinkng real coffee . I extracted fresh Starbucks Italian beans .

DIYFS sugar cream is probably the best flavor you can ever find to go with a coffee juice . Nice and sweet and creamy with a hint of coffee

I just got some of that as a freebie thrown in with my last order....I'll have to try that, thanks :)

Confessions of a DIY Junkie - Well I started out small and after better than a year of DIY my kit contains well over 200 flavors from multiple flavor manufactures. Stocked up with over 3 liters of 100mg/ml nic and about the same of PG and VG. My imagination is the only limitation now for juices but I keep going back to my main DIY vape. 80-pg/20vg at 12mg/ml Cinnamon roll. This one is really simple:

Lorann Cin Roll 8%
TPA Waffle 1%
Sweetener 1%

So while I have all those flavors at my disposal they are mostly used for making juices for other people. And coffee like chocolate is one that is hard to nail. One persons masterpiece is anothers roadkill. Happy DIY and vapes

Highdesertecigs is great . John is the man . I get my RTS nic from him .Its even cheaper than rts sell their nic for . They are always expanding their flavoring selection too .

I just went to her site and the prices are crazy! A 15mL bottle is over $9... that's not within my budget! I remembered they were expensive but don't remember them being that much. I have some of her Pecan and her Pound Cake and wasn't that impressed.

I did DIY Cinnamon for months, now I'm 0Nic0FA, Zero Nicotine Zero Flavor Added. Since all I'm blending is different ratios of PG & VG, I don't know if I'm really DIY anymore or not. I still blend my own, but don't blend many components. Doubt I could come up with a cheaper eLiquid though. Last I checked I was out three dicimals per mL. JMHO

Cheers,
